Data Quality , Name and address

I would like to know if someone has used Name and address functinality in OWB. I would like to clean our data and possibly link two or more record with one record and also would like to standardise the addresses such as Parkway to Pkwa, st. to street etc. Is this all possible in OWB? Could I use Name and address server to do all these?
While reading a FAQ on http://otn.oracle.com/products/warehouse/htdocs/ORACLE92_WAREHOUSE_BUILDER_DQ_FAQ.htm , it seems to me that I need to buy some kind of data qulaity software from third party, am I right?
Thanks
Suhail

Syed,
Many OWB customers are using OWB's Name and Address, and Match-Merge capabilities to perform the tasks you described.
You are right, as the Data Quality FAQ states, Name and Address, while modelled in OWB at design time, requires third-party software at the run-time. That software is licensed separately (directly with third-party vendors, previously Oracle re-sold the third-party technology as an extra option to OWB). However, Match-Merge does not rely on any third-party technology.
There are introductory viewlets and self-paced exercises for both of these features at http://otn.oracle.com/products/warehouse/htdocs/OTN_viewlet.html

  • Data Quality for name and address

    Hello,
    We have OWB10G and would like to use Name and Address operator. It seesm to me that we need to buy some Data Quality library from some 3rd party ( FirstLogic etc). Our client is not ready to pay money to buy these 3rd party libraries. How would we go and still be able to use Name and address operator.
    I was in the impression that OWB has some builtin Data Quality libraries. Do we have to write some PL/SQL to clean , parse , match and merge data or it can be done using OWB? Why OWB does not have these libraries built-in.
    Is there some freely available Data Quality tool?
    Thanks
    Suhail Ahmad

    bump again,
    Oracle used to have pure extraxt and integrate, could we use these libraries with OWB10G?

  • SLcM and Experian Data Quality (QAS) Pro address verification service

    Does SLcM integrate with Experian Data Quality (QAS) Pro address verification service?  Is so how and is there any documentation on it?  Also are there any institutions that are doing it and are available as a reference?
    Thanks,
    Stan

    Stan,
       I don't think there is any documentation out there. But it can be integrated using Web-service, Interfaces and Scripting. We integrated SLcM with QAS for one of our client.

  • Name and Address operator's packge do not have any values

    Hi All,
    I am using the Name and Address operator, but I do not have/want the 3rd party vendor's connector/tool/data library to work with my OWB.
    I developed the map and deployed that map into my target.
    Package got generated of name NAME_ADDRESS
    In this package the entry point is the MAIN function, in the main function taking one parameter p_env.
    When I execute the Package from SQL*Plus I am getting the value of p_env, which is wrong, p_env can not be NULL/0 at any case.
    All I want is, how to pass/populate the value into p_env parameter, there will be more than one value into that parameter, param_value varchar2(30)and param_name varchar2(4000).
    But I know nothing about what are the values may be in , when I execute the package...
    ALSO I AM ATTACHING SOME MORE DETAILS....
    create or replace package
    FUNCTION Main(p_env IN WB_RT_MAPAUDIT.WB_RT_NAME_VALUES) RETURN NUMBER IS
    end package
    In this main function, the p_env is getting Initialize, it calls the initialize
    procedure, there directly getting count on this parameter.
    my question is at what point of time these valiables get initialize and what
    are the exact details for the followings
    TYPE WB_RT_NAME_VALUE IS RECORD
    param_name varchar2(30),
    param_value varchar2(4000)
    TYPE WB_RT_NAME_VALUES IS TABLE OF
    WB_RT_NAME_VALUE
    INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
    What are these two variables (param_name and param_value) implies in wb_rt_mapaudit package
    ANY HELP GREATLY APPRECIATED
    THANKS FOR YOUR TIME

    Gladson,
    Page 8-73 of the Warehouse Builder user's guide explicitly highlights the following section:
    Note: Taking advantage of the Name and Address operator requires separate licensing and additional installation steps. Refer to the Oracle9i Warehouse Builder Installation and Configuration Guide for more information.
    The functionality that does the parsing and standardization is not part of Warehouse Builder, but part of the package that the software partner brings in. If you think about that, it actually makes sense. Would you expect Warehouse Builder to contain the code to perform this action for all countries across the globe, in all different languages and the like? The data vendors, who are the experts in the different areas, know this information.
    So, if all you want to do, is parse and standardize an address, then yes, you may be better of going directly to a partner (having said that, you may get a discount if you are a Warehouse Builder customer, but that I do not know for sure).
    However, what does Warehouse Builder add:
    - Data object design (maybe your target tables don't exist) and deployment
    - ETL design and code generation
    - Process flow creation and deployment
    - Execution management (automatic logging etc)
    - Integration with Discoverer
    - Metadata management, such as impact analysis, version management, multi language support...
    - Much, much more.
    Specific to name and address (or say data quality): if you include the name and address operator on a Warehouse Builder mapping, then you can plug in any partner library you want, and in case you find out that another partner delivers better results, then go with the other partner. At the end of the day, you abstracted the implementation from the design. That makes you much more flexible in your choice of a data vendor. Besides, you get impact analysis, lineage and lots of other metadata management features for free. On top of that, if you want to identify duplicates, perform householding and the like, then there is match and merge (which yes, is part of the tool and not a third-party implementation) in order to define the rules for matching and merging.
    Again, if you don't need any of that, then perhaps you don't want the overhead of having all this and you go directly to a data vendor.
    Hope this helps,
    Mark.

  • Local characters in Name and Address Details

    Hi,
    For an Thailand Employee,
    I need to print his Name from PA0182(Alternative Names) and the Adress Details from Pa0006 with a custom subtype 0026(Thailand Address).
    The source of Name and Address is different if I want to do the same for a Taiwan PERNR.
    Is there a way to dynamically determine the source of Data based on Country Grouping?
    Please suggest.
    Thanks,
    Suryakiran D.

    Sorry for misreading your question!
    In the view T588M, you can choose the infotype 0006 and subtype too it is probably already customized for Thailand!
    There is probrably a feature with county grouping!
    Just add the country grouping of taiwan to the one of thailand!

  • Question Regarding Name and Address Clensing

    Hello,
    Can someone help me with understanding the Name and Address Cleansing operatior of OWB.
    I am currently using OWB Client 9.2.0.2.8
    Before using the Name and Address operator should you do any configuration for it to function? Based on the viewlet which i tried there were no configuration steps and once i finished doing the steps in the demo there were rows inserted but with *null data.
    Is Trillium packaged with the OWB or should you still purchase it?
    Thank You

    Thank you for the information Mark, I still have another question.
    Here is my situation:
    I have been tasked to integrate a 3rd party DQ ventor to the name and address cleansing operator of OWB. In relation to that I have downloaded the OracleAdaptorKit provided by Oracle for such development. The problem is I still dont really understand how the whole thing works. My understanding is that once you use the Name and Address operator in a Map and execute the it OWB will call the Name and Address Server which will trigger the Adaptor (which should be created by the vendor or me in this case) that will do the Parse() function based on the libraries of the 3rd party DQ vendor. Is my understanding correct?
    My second question is on how will the Name and Address Engine call the Adaptor(JAVA applet?) which will use the Parse() function and what are the values that Name and Address Engine throw to the Adaptor? And how will you know if you have successfully created a connection between the Name and Address Engine and the Adaptor you created?
    My third question is in regards to the components to be created. So given that the Name and Address Engine is by default installed with OWB does that mean that the only thing left to program are the Adaptor and Libraries?
    I hope you can help me, Thank You

  • In Contacts version 8, how can I print ALL information in each individual card? When I select the print command the only thing printed is the name and address. I need phone number(s) and all other information in the cards.

    In Contacts version 8, how can I print ALL information in each individual card? When I select the print command the only thing printed is the name and address. I need phone number(s) and all other information in the cards. We enter various pieces of data, other than the standard name address & phone numbers and we print all information on each card so it fits in a 5x7 inch loose binder. We have used InTouch software for many years and it has served us extremely welll, however, the publisher (The Prairie Group) has not, and apparently has no plans to update their software to be compatible with any Mac OSX OS beyond 10.6. Any help will be appreciated!

    You can select what you want included in a list format. In the Print command from Contacts, click the Show Details button. Then in the Style pulldown menu select "Lists" and there you'll be able to select what you want included. You can also select what you wish included if you select the Pocket Address Book style.
    If neither of those options will work for you, then you will need to look to third-party software. Here's one possibility that seems to get good reviews:
    https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/15485/labels-&-addresses
    I haven't done more than try it to make sure that it works with OS X 10.9's Contacts, which it does, but you can download their demo and try it yourself.
    Regards.

  • How to auto populate numerous pdf files with same name and address?

    I have numerous pdf files where a company's name and address will need to be entered onto each file.  Would there be a way to enter this information once, say on an excel file or something, and then have this information auto populate all the correct fields in each and every pdf file I have to fill out.  I am a complete rookie with Adobe Acrobat.  At any one's convenience please let me know or point me in a direction where I can possibly learn this for myself.  If Adobe offers this type of service please let me know which department to contact.
    Thanks,
    John

    If you were an InDesign user, you could layout the document there, and use the Data Merge feature to bring in the names and addresses from Excel. Then create a PDF of the resulting file which could be split into individual PDFs.
    There might be a way to do it similarly with Microsoft Word and Mail Merge.

  • Since upgrading to Firefox 6, I can't use my autofill forms. It now has my name and address but doesn't have credit card or password information that it had before and I don't know how to input it or import it from former versions of Firefox.

    I just upgraded to Firefox 5. Before when I filled in a form, I just had to click autofill and all my information was provided. I found autofill on customize toolbars and added it, but it only had my name and address, not my credit cards or passwords. Before I could click on them and change them if I needed to. I would like to input them on this version or import them from the last one so I can easily fill forms online, but I can't see how to do it.

  • How to change data source name and context root during deployment

    Hi,
    Env:
    WLS 10.1.3
    JDev 11.1.1.6
    Hudson
    I need to deploy two instances of my ADF application on the same development enviroment. We are using Hudson to deploy. My question is how to change data source name and application context root before second deployment.
    Kuba

    I don't believe there is an inbuilt facility to do this.
    Previously how I've done this is when checking files out using Hudson jovs, before the build I then use an Ant extension called XmlTask (http://www.oopsconsultancy.com/software/xmltask/) to modify the required XML files.
    Can I ask why you're doing this in the first place please? Multi-tenancy? 2 versions of the same app?

  • My Contacts File in Applications has lost all name and addresses - how can I retrieve them?

    Out of the blue my Contacts File in Applications has lost all my names and addresses.  Is there any way I can retrieve them?  On my back-up systems they don't appear either.  Panic!
    Lecia

    Hello again
    Alothogh I could not find help on any of the Communities (that I could acyually understand) - I haven't a clue what I have just done but ALL my addresses have now shown up in Contacts.  Wish I knew what I had 'clicked" to achieve this - but as I have been "clicking" just about everything in sight - I am not sure what did the magic trick.
    Maybe, although I have answered my own query, someone could perhaps tell me what may have happened?  I THINK it was something to do with iCloud --- which is something I don't understand AT ALL!

  • How to send a group email where the recipients' names and addresses remain anonymous?

    I wish to send out an email to a "Group" in my Apple Contacts. I want the several recipients in the group to be unknown to each other, where their names and addresses are invisible – except myself, the creater of the email.
    Does Apple 'Mail' and/or 'Contacts' allow for this?
    And, by keeping the group invisable, will this prevent any one recipient from responding as a 'Reply All,' thereby still being able to respond to everyone in the otherwise invisible group?

  • I want to ask why my invoice lost header title..in my mac i can see my invoice title..but when i open file lost my office name and address on number

    my invoice got my company name and address..when i see in my macbook can see the title..but when i open file to edit lost my title.many customer ask me why..
    i just know lost title.i did't change other setting in my number..hope can gv me answer..last week i use still ok..now lost it.

    Possible problem: You designed the invoice using Numbers '09 but you are now editing it in Numbers 3.  The company name and address are in a page header or footer, something Numbers 3 does not have so it deletes it from the document.
    Possible solution: Return to using Numbers '09.  It should still be in the Applications forlder on your computer.
    Another Possible Solution: Use a text box for your company name and address.
    If you are trying to use Numbers 3, you might want to see if your invoice will print correctly (with or without the company name and address)
